Corrosion, a pervasive phenomenon in both natural environments and industrial processes, poses significant safety hazards and incurs substantial economic losses. Consequently, the study of corrosion mechanisms and anticorrosion strategies has become a focal point of research. The article discusses metal corrosion inhibitors based on organic amides The article examines the features of the chemical structure and the presumed mechanism of anticorrosive action on metal surfaces of corrosion inhibitors such as imidazoline, its quaternary ammonium salts, polyamide corrosion inhibitors, and compounds with heterocyclic nitrogen-containing structures. It has been shown, that a promising direction in the development of technology for obtaining metal corrosion inhibitors based on amides is their modification with naturally occurring products.

It is shown that the method of shaping cutting is a virtual technical solution, according to the law of its functioning, a real technical solution is created through synthesis or functional design - the kinematic structure of a metalcutting machine. At the same time, the method of forming processing and the kinematic structure of a metal-cutting machine synthesized on its basis are connected by a common creative or "inventive" idea. Illustrated tests have been developed in the methodology of cognition of the developing variety of methods of shaping cutting.

The results of the study of the effect of ultrasonic treatment of calcium sulfonate additives on their anticorrosive activity against the surface of low-carbon steel are presented. Ultrasonic treatment of sulfonate additives has been found to be an effective way to increase their anticorrosive activity in base oil solutions. Regularity of change of anticorrosive activity and work of adhesion in relation to surface of low-carbon steel from value of specific energy transferred to sample of sulfonate additive by ultrasonic waves is revealed. The optimal specific energy of ultrasonic waves was determined, at which the anticorrosive activity of sulfonate additives is maximum. Relationship of anticorrosive activity of solutions of sulphonate additives with value of their work of adhesion to surface of steel plate and sizes of forming micelles is revealed. The mechanism of anticorrosive action of sulfonate additives has been clarified. It has been shown, that due to the inhomogeneity of the formed protective film on the surface of steel, the anti-corrosion properties of a high-alkaline sulfonate additive containing a significant amount of calcium carbonate, both before and after sonication, are worse than that of a low-alkaline sulfonate additive.

The article presents the results of paleopathological research on osteological material from the 12th century, uncovered during archaeological excavations near the walls of the Spassko-Preobrazhensky Cathedral in Polotsk. The most comprehensive results were obtained from the study of skeletal remains found in a sarcophagus. Signs of enamel trauma, degenerative changes in the spine, and joint issues in the rib cage bones were identified on the skeleton of a woman aged 20-30 years. The most commonly encountered pathologies in the bone material from individuals in burial No. 8 (reburied remains of 5 women) are periodontal diseases and jaw abscesses. In isolated cases, penetrating skull trauma, cavities, ante-mortem enamel injuries, and cribra orbitalia were recorded. No markers of nonspecific physiological stress (porotic hyperostosis, enamel hypoplasia) were identified. In most cases, the identified traces of diseases and pathological conditions result from the influence of external environmental factors or have a genetically determined origin. Cases of dental and jaw system diseases indicate the impact of the medieval diet and reflect the specifics of hygiene practices of that period. The documentation of only one case of a physiological stress marker (cribra orbitalia), the low level of cranial trauma, and the absence of signs of inflammatory processes all suggest relatively favorable living conditions for the women studied.

This article deals the novel Circe (Circe, 2018) by American writer Madeline Miller (born July 24, 1978), which is a reconstruction of the mythological story of Circe. This novel has become an important phenomenon in contemporary literature, reanimating interest in ancient myths through the lens of a feminist perspective. The author, relying on classical sources (Hesiod, Homer, Ovid), transforms the canonical image of the sorceress, filling it with psychological depth and actual social meanings. The article substantiates that M. Miller combines loyalty to the ancient tradition with an innovative approach, creating a multifaceted portrait of Circea as a victim, creator and rebel.

The ways of increasing the durability of boring cutting tools with micrometric adjustment of the blades are considered, stress models in the threaded adjustment mechanism during mechanical tension creation and coating are proposed and analyzed, and the results of experimental studies of the surface of the threaded connection are presented.

In the context of the growing trend of globalization and the flourishing Belt and Road Initiative, Belarusian - Chinese economic cooperation has become an important aspect of international economic relations. The Belarusian - Chinese Industrial Park "Great Stone" serves as a significant symbol of this cooperation. The aim of this study is to explore the directions of development of Belarusian - Chinese economic relations through the case of the "Great Stone" industrial park. The research method adopted combines in - depth case analysis, data collection from official sources, and interviews with relevant stakeholders. The study concludes that the "Great Stone" industrial park has great potential in promoting trade expansion, technology transfer, and industrial upgrading between the two countries. It also offers valuable insights into the future development directions of Belarusian - Chinese economic relations, which can further strengthen bilateral cooperation and contribute to regional economic development.

The article identifies factors and features of the development of vertical agriculture in the Republic of Uzbekistan. The main directions of the formation of vertical agriculture as a special form of farming in the agro-industrial complex are investigated, the distinctive features of vertical agriculture from urban agriculture are determined. Measures are considered, the practical implementation of which contributes to the implementation of the most important provisions of the concept of vertical agriculture in the urban economic system of Tashkent.

The analysis of approaches to defining environmental culture and environmental and legal culture justified in the doctrine, conducted within the framework of the study, allowed us to conclude that there is no unity in understanding these categories, which indicates the relevance of theoretical research on the stated topic and emphasizes the need to form a legal basis for the development of environmental culture in the Republic of Belarus. In this regard, for the purposes of developing scientific ideas about environmental culture, the authors have established a set of tools that contribute to its development; a position has been formed regarding the content of the concept of "environmental culture" and a doctrinal definition of the concept of "environmental and legal culture" has been developed. At the same time, the absence of a comprehensive approach to the development of environmental culture in the national environmental legislation served as the basis for the authors' justification of proposals to improve legal regulation in the area under study in light of the ongoing work on the codification of legislation on environmental protection and the rational use of natural resources.

The article examines the concept of "virtual museum". Based on the analysis of doctrinal sources, the features of a virtual museum are identified. The author studied the legal basis for the activities of virtual museums in the Republic of Belarus. The paper presents the data of a sociological survey conducted by the author in 2023-2024 among 457 respondents aged 18 to 60 years living in the Republic of Belarus. The sociological survey was conducted to identify the level of public awareness of virtual museums and determine their commercial potential. Based on the obtained research results, the author's definition of the concept of "virtual museum" is proposed, proposals for improving the legislation of the Republic of Belarus related to the legal protection of virtual museums are formulated.
